RIcetto di Candelo
Ricetto (RECEPTUM)

One of the most meaningful and beautiful European Fortified Receptums
The fortified construction was orginally built as a village, and the building plan was dated 1160 a.d.
It was built by the people of Candelo from 1300 till the beginning of 1400 a.d.
It was used as a Receptum (a fortified place to hide) in times of war, and as a food storage location in times of peace

In this mediaeval village many movies have been filmed.

Nel cuore della Biella medievale
Qui sono state girate per esempio le puntatate della "Freccia Nera" 1 e 2, e molti altri film.
